Application filed Mny 15, 1913. Serial No. 767,948.

To wil il'izif/HL it may concern:

lie it lIEHHYH llud: l l'rsixrnu F, lliUEZJE mum, oi tiuciunuti, in the county of Humib ion and Stole oi ()hio have invented certain new and useful improvements in HydrocarbonBurner;; and l do hereby declare the following to be u it'ulh clear and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the z to which it uppertains to multc and use the same.

This hydrocurbon burncrs -the object of the present invention being'to provide simple and etlicient wick-limiting means which can be quickly and cheaply made sinmltaneously with th 1 forming of one of the shells of the combusc on chamber .n'icmber, with which latter, said wick-limiting moans are movable vertically with respect to the wick tube iii-c In her.

rl ith consists in certain novel features of construc tion and combinations of parts as hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claims.

in the m'con'ipunying drawings, Figure l s wtiouul View (a rsly in elevc on) showing :1 hydrocarbon b r, embodying m im 'u'orcmcnls, mid Fig. is a perspec- View, partly in section, showing the wic liini lug devices at the lower end of the inner shell oi. the combustion chamber member.

't represents the wick-tube member and 2 the combustion chamber member. The wicktube member comprises concentric tubes or cylinders 3-4 forming a wick chamber be tween them to receive a wick The outer wick tube 4: is provided. at its upper end with an outwardly projecting depressed l'iunge or sent 6 and the, inner Wick tube is proviced at. its upper end with an inwardly projecting depressed seat; 7.

The combiilstion cluuuber member comprises foruminatied shells 8t spaced from each other to Form a combustion chamber 10 between them ii hich is in line with the wick. The shells 8-9 are incloscd by a casingll which is spaced from the outer shell 8 and secured to said shells in any suitable manner. The upper end of the casing is open and its lower end is provided with an in wurdly project 111;; pQIfOlflbMl flange 1:2.

'lhe lower end of the shell 8 is seated (when the parts are in their normal positions) upon the outer depressed flange 6 at the upper end of the outer wick tube 4, and

invention relates to improvements in et in \"lQW, the, invention' viglnrl the inner shell 9 is seated upon the inwardly projecting flange i at the upper end of the inner wick tube The inner formnimitcd shell is notched at its-lowcr end to form uh uunulur series of lugs or lingers 13. This notched lower edge of the inner shell is bent upwardly against the outer face of the shell and the lugs or fingers 13 are bent outwardly to form radial wick limiting devices integral with the shell 9 and disposed transversel in the lower portion of the combustion chamber in the path of the wick. v

The combustion chamber member is provided with an extension cylinder l4 -whi -h depends into the space within the inner tube of the wick-tube member and coiiperutes with the inwardly projectinq tango T at the upper end of the inner wicli tube, to guide the combustion chmnber member, when the same is moved vertically.

The extension cylinder is enlarged at its upper end as indicated at 15 and enters within the lower portion of the inner toraminuted shell 1. in which it. is secured somewhat above the lower edge thereof. A pertoruti-ul diaphragm i6 is located within the. enlargement 15 ot' the (tension cylinder and is provided with a peripheral flange 17 fitting tightly within said eulnrgrementv Somewhatbelow the enlargement 15. the extension cylinder 14 is provided with u pluralit of holes 18 and a short distance ll?- low these holes, an imperforute diaphragm 19 is secured within the extension cylinder.

The lower end ot'the extension cylinder provided with suitable engaging means to cooperate with cum arms secured the wick-tube member for locking the combustion chamber member in normal nosition and for raising and propping said combustion chamber member when the latter is turned, or partially rotated. The specific construction of these devices does not constitute :1 part of my present invention, the same being covered by my cop t g pplication filed even date herewith and designated by Serial No. specific description of said details herein 1s not essential it. being sutlicient for the purpose of this case that some means be pro- ,W for raising and lowering the combustion chamber-so that the wick-limiting devices shall be moved sinmltaneously with the KYCVfiIDQlliS of the combustion chamber menu within 76194:? and hence a It will be observed that with my improvements, the wick-limiting lugs or fingers are integral with the lower end of the inner shell of the combustion chamber member and are therefore movable with the same away from or toward the Wick, but when the burner is in operation, the limiting devices may be in more or less close proximity to the Wick (according to the adjustment of the latter) with-art detracting from the ettlciency of the on the Wick.

ing fully described my invention'what i i as new and desire to secure by Letters-Pa -tent, is:

1. In a hydrocarbon burner, the combina tion of avvick tube member, and foraminated shells forming a vertically movable combusion chamber member, one of said shells having a notched lower portion forming a plurality of fingers integral therewith and disposed transversely in the combustion chamber between said shells and in the Wick path, said fingers constituting Wick limiting means.

2. In a hydr'ocarbon burner, the combination of e Wick-tube member and :1 vertically movable combustion chamber inember comprising spaced foraminated shells forming a combustion chamber between them, one of said shells having its-lower end bent upon itself and provided with an annular series of integral Wick-limiting fingers disposed transversely in the combustion chamber in the path of the Wick.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the ing Witnesses.
